Rewind

If only time could just go to quick rewind
 and in a breath catch all moments sublime
when we first met and our lives aligned.

If only the experience could return again
 and be felt as deeply as it did then
the precious moments of our shared when.

Time though is ever moving forward
 and only the recall seems a little altered
as dreams are now speeding to fast forward.

For a second wait
 looking back and  hesitate
as life remembered comes too late

Live life in its time
 embrace all you find
for there is no return in rewind.

Amen! — (one thing which comes to mind). Well said, and, I like the way you formatted this. Subtle, the indented middle lines and the extra space before "hesitate." I will assume intentional and sure caught my eye, or brain? May be an official poetic device. I'm not too sharp on these things. Anyway — Njoyed ~ john
